What Does TIC Stand For?
TIC stands for Total Ion Current
Total Ion Current (TIC) is a measure of the total signal produced by ionized particles in a mass spectrometry analysis. It reflects the overall abundance of ions detected during an experiment and is crucial for quantitative assessments of sample composition. TIC allows researchers to evaluate the sensitivity and performance of analytical methods and is commonly used to monitor instrument stability and sample variability.
